Hi guys. Today we are going to see how you can redirect A URL in wordpress
Let's say you have a website like this and you have different pages on your site
So let's go to our blog page and let's say you have changed the URL of this page
So after changing the URL, now if we go back to our old URL
you can see that the pace does not exist. So after watching this video
when someone visits this link, you will be able to redirect them to your new link
Now, let's say your old link is ranking on Google like this. Now
if you open this link, it will also be redirected to the new link which you have changed
I'm Brian from upset Loner and let's get started. First, let's see the site which we have now here it is
Now, let's go to this page and let's say you want to change this URL
just go to your dashboard, now go to pages and click blog now
to change this URL, click edit and then change the URL. I'm going to change
this to take blog and click. OK? Now you will need to copy this link later to redirect your
old URL. So let's copy this and
save it on a notepad. You will need this link to redirect
your page once you have saved the link, click update, no, if
you go back to our blog page and click refresh, you can see that the
pace does not exist. So now let's see how you can redact the visitor to the new link
We're going to do this in just two steps. The first step is to install the red action plug in in wordpress
So to install the plug in, let's go to our Wordpress dashboard. Now go to plugins and click add new
here, search for a plug in called redirection and you will get
this plug in. Now this is the plug in which will help us redact the URL in wordpress
So to install the plug in, let's click install now and then click activate
Now we have successfully installed the redirect plug in in wordpress. OK
So once you install the plug in, we can now go to the second step of this tutorial which is to create a redirection
Once you create a redirection, when a visitor goes to your blog page, it will be automatically redirected to the new
URL. So to create the redirection first, we need to set up this plug in
So to set it up, just click settings and click start, set up
Now click continue and then finally click finish that up. So now
we have completed the plug and set up. Now, if we click finished, it will take you to this page
So to create a reduction for our blog page, we need to enter a whole blog link here
So to get that, let's go to this tab and copy the URL
Now, go back to your dashboard and paste the URL here and
here we need to enter the new URL to which you want to redirect your users
So to get that, let's open the notepad. This is the new link to which we are going to redirect vistas
So let's copy this link and visited here once
you are done, click add redirect. And as you can see, we have successfully created a new redirection
Now, when someone clicks on our old link, they will be redirected to the new URL
So to check that let's go back to this page. Now, quickly refresh
You can see that our old link is automatically redirected to the new URL and our website content is now available
OK? So this is how you can read out a URL in wordpress
Now, let's say you're making some changes to your site and you want to show a maintenance space like this to your visitors temporarily
How will you do that? So next, let's see how you can add a temporary redirect to your site
Now, let's say you're working on your about page and you want to read vistas temporarily to a maintenance page
So to add the temporary redirect, let's go to our Wordpress dashboard
Now go to tools and click redirection. Since we're working on our about page
we need to enter the URL here. So to get that link
let's go to about page, copy the URL. Now
go back and pasted here. Next, we
need to enter the URL of our maintenance page. So to get the URL
let's go to our maintenance page, copy the URL. Now
go back and paste it here. So
to redirect this URL temporarily, let's click here. Now go to this option and
choose temporary direct. Once you're done, click add redirect. Now
we have successfully added the temporary direction in wordpress and your about page will be redirected to the maintenance page
So now if we go to our website and then go to the about page
you can see that the URL is automatically redirected to a maintenance page
Now, if you want to create a maintenance page for your site like this, you can watch this video
OK? Now let's say you're done working on the about page and you want to get it back on your website
So to get back the about page, you need to disable a temporary direct which you have created
So to do that, let's go back to our dashboard here. You can see all the redirection which we have already added to
our site. Now to get your boat page back on your side. Just click
disable and our about page will be bad not to check that
Let's go to our sides home page and click about here. As you can
see, the temporary redirect is now removed and we have got our birth pages back
Now, if you want to redirect your visitors to the maintenance page again
just go to your dashboard and you can enable the redirection from here
So this is how you can get your page back on your site. Ok
Now let's go to the bonus part of this tutorial where we see how you can redact your entire website to a new domain
Let's say you have changed your current domain name to a new domain like this
Now, how will you redact the vistas of your old domain to the new domain
So to redirect the visitors to the new domain, let's go back to our dashboard and go to sight here
enter your new domain and then click update. Now
our site will be successfully redirected to the new domain. So to check that let's open a new tab and
then enter our old domain name. Now, if you press enter, you can see that our domain
is automatically directed to the new domain. OK? Now, if we go to the blog page on the old domain
you can see that this page is also redacted to the new domain with the same URL
So this is how you can rewrite your old website to a new domain. That's it guys
